11/26/29 - Here we go again. I bet you’re wondering why I’m rewriting/revamping TTS? Five months ago I got a critique about TTS saying that the reader felt it wasn’t realistic enough. For them, things felt rushed and kind of disjointed (examples they gave were the beginning/agreeing to go to the wedding; glossing over Drake/Olivia’s relationship; Riley’s relationship with Paul; Maxwell and Andy’s engagement. I’ll admit, my heart hurt a little because I had put so much time and energy into it and had been getting so much positive feedback that I kind of got blindsided by that critique. With everything that was going on in my life, I kind of just ignored it and moved on thinking that I’d address it when I had more time. Of course, I didn’t really get back into writing again until recently. So, I took the opportunity to reread TTS and I found that the reader who shall remain anonymous (lol!) was correct. It was rushed . . . I did do a disservice to such awesome characters like Paul and Andy and Maxwell and even Olivia! So I’m gonna do right by this critique and rework it so that it is a bit more realistic.

So? What does that mean? The plot is going to change. Eek! I know. Scary. But the general premise will remain the same. Plot twist - I already have the ending written and that won’t change. But Riley’s time in Cordonia will be a bit different. :)

I really hope you guys decide to continue to follow along!

PART 1 - LIFE GOES ON

“Oh my goodness,” I whispered. “Roxy, you’re a magician,” I sighed as I inhaled the delightful cinnamon aroma permeating from my warm cup of cappuccino.

Roxy winked at me. “I know what my best customer likes,” she chuckled. “It’s been ages since you’ve swung by for a visit. I had to make it just perfect for you.”

I smiled brightly at the owner of the coffee shop. Roxy’s Coffee Shop had become a second home to me over the last two years. I had stumbled across it back in college when I first came home to New York. I was in between mid-term exams and needed somewhere to decompress before heading back to campus and happened upon this little hole in the wall café. It was love at first sight. Sure, there were a bunch of mainstream coffee shops scattered across the city, but there was just something that drew you in at Roxy’s. For one, they had the coziest little set up going on. The lighting is dimmed just right and the chairs are extra cozy – which is perfect when you want to get lost in a good book or in my case a really tough crossword puzzle. Another thing? Roxy makes THE best cup of cappuccino this side of the Hudson River. I couldn’t count how many times I found myself huddled in a corner sipping a cup of Roxy’s perfectly brewed coffee after a long day of classes.

And that’s just where I am today – snuggled in a plush, brown chair at the far corner of the shop, steaming cappuccino in one hand and the New York Times in the other. This was the life. I brought the cup of cappuccino to my lips, savoring the delicious taste as I sipped it slowly. “I’ve missed this,” I sighed happily. “I’m sorry I haven’t been around as much,” I offered. “Business has been crazy, and . . . well . . .you know how it goes when you’re your own boss,” I explained.

“Do I ever . . .” Roxy agreed. “Stay as long as you like. I’ll be sure to have Gus bring you a refill when you’re done,” she smiled.

“Best Barista Ever,” I exclaimed.

“Just you today or is that handsome hunk of man joining you?” Roxy asked waggling her eyebrows.

“Just me,” I laughed. “Paul’s in Boston.”

“Too bad,” Roxy winked at me. “I’ll leave you to it,” she motioned toward the crossword puzzle page in front of me. “Mmhmm, she chuckled. Only girl I know that does the New York Times Crossword in pen,” she shook her head as she went off to tend to another customer.

Sighing, I leaned back into the chair getting myself comfortable. Roxy had been right. I hadn’t stopped by in at least a month. After all, it had been just as long since I had an actual day off. I was about due for some nice rest and relaxation. When Alicia offered to do my consults for the day, I jumped at the opportunity to breakaway for a little while. I was going a bit stir crazy in the four walls of my office. Don’t get me wrong, I loved my job and I loved being my own boss even more, but I seemed to constantly be moving at the speed of light. I started Savvy Events right out of college and despite the rocky start I had trying to get it off the ground, things have been booming every since.

I loved the hustle and bustle of my fast-paced life. My weekends were spent planning and coordinating some of the trendiest events in New York City. So I wasn’t planning parties for the Kardashians just yet, but I did plan a party for one of the girls from Sex and the City once and it got featured in Glossy magazine. That was pretty epic. Mostly though, I found myself catering to high-end business professionals who were just too busy to plan parties themselves – corporate galas, year-end celebrations, weddings. You name it; I pretty much could plan it. My weekdays were just as busy – filled with client meetings, scouting visits, and designing sessions. It wasn’t easy, but it kept me busy, the money was great, and I was really, really good at my job – if I do say so myself.

Admittedly, there were times when I missed how much downtime I used to have. I sometimes longed for the days when I could randomly decide to wander aimlessly around the city and discover all of the little idiosyncrasies that New York had to offer. But the Riley back then didn’t have as much responsibilities as I do now. Man, just thinking about how much has changed over the years makes me nostalgic for life pre-business. I’ve come quite a long way from the days when I was waiting tables at that dingy little bar out in Brooklyn. I couldn’t help but smile when I thought about all the late night shifts I spent working at Upscale. I snorted at the memory. Upscale . . . what a totally misleading name. There was absolutely nothing upscale about that crummy, little bar. The patrons were a bit too touchy, and my manager Craig was a giant ass. It wasn’t all bad though. My coworkers were fun and the tips were a dream, especially when I was trying to save up enough money to get back into college. And if it wasn’t for that oh so glamorous waitressing gig . . . my life would have turned out pretty differently. Hell, I never would have met him. Had I not picked up that last party the night he walked into the bar, I never would have met the man that turned my life upside down. I never would have had the opportunity to cross off so many items on my bucket list. I never would have gotten to see the world outside of my tiny little studio in Brooklyn. I never would have fallen in love.

Ouch. Let’s not go there. It had been months since I had even thought about him. I closed my eyes at the thought, clinging onto my cup just a tad bit tighter. My heart had a slight twinge . . . of pain? Regret maybe? I shook my head, mentally chiding myself for letting myself go there again. I was doing so well. What had it been three months since I last thought about him? Or them? That had to be some sort of record. They say time heals all wounds, and I was slowly starting to believe it. It had been two years since everything had happened, and I refused to allow myself to ever be that weak again. I’ll never let myself revert to the girl I was back then. I came back to New York a ghost of my former self. I remember feeling like the aching heartbreak would stay with me forever. I thought that I would be doomed to a life of wallowing in my never-ending grief.

It still amazes me that I was somehow able to pick up the pieces of my broken life and glue them back together again. It was a long and hard road that took many months, but here I am . . . almost as good as new. Were the fractures still there? Oh yes, of course. Once something was broken, you couldn’t just pretend that it hadn’t shattered into a million pieces. The cracks of my former life . . . as much as it killed me to still admit it . . . were still dancing along the surface of my rebuilt life . . . although faded they were still very much a reminder of everything that happened all those years ago.

God, how tragically sappy. The buzzing of my cell phone thankfully interrupted my thoughts. Looking down, I saw my boyfriend’s name flash onto the screen. I couldn’t help but smile. Here I was dwelling on the past when my future was calling. Paul had been away for the last three weeks facilitating a corporate merger between two well known companies. Headquarters for both companies were based in Boston, and although his law firm was centered in New York City, they wanted him to go out and meet the clients directly in their neck of the woods. He’d been flying in and out of Boston for the last few months. I missed him something fierce when he was away, but we’d been getting by through countless text messages and many FaceTime sessions.

“Hi, Handsome,” I answered. “I wasn’t expecting to hear from you until later today,” I murmured.

“Hey, Gorgeous, I know . . . but I just couldn’t let a whole morning go by without hearing your voice,” he responded.

“Well, lucky me then,” I smiled.

“Luck you indeed because I also happen to have a surprise for you,” he said.

“Ooh,” I hummed. “What kind of surprise?” I could feel my smile grow wider. Paul was something special . . . he was funny . . . sweet . . . caring and oh so thoughtful. He spoiled me. A lot. And I didn’t know exactly what I did to deserve snagging a guy like him, but I was certainly thankful for whatever powers that be that found us winding up together.

“Guess who was able to book an earlier flight and is flying in to see you in exactly three hours?” He said in a sing-song voice.

I was grinning so big my cheeks were starting to hurt. “Shut up!” I exclaimed. “Paul, that’s the best news I’ve heard all day. And you know what? You’re just in time for movie night,” I almost squealed. “They just haven’ been the same without you these last few weeks,” I laughed thinking about what it’s been like him without the last few weeks. I had used my best friend Andy as my stand-in date and she was less than thrilled at my movie selections. “I’ve had to resort to spending movie nights with Andy and you know how that goes,” I chuckled.

“Oh, I have a funny inkling about how that went down.” He chuckled. “Let me guess, she demanded it be a sci-fi flick?”

I groaned. “YES!” I exclaimed. “She tried to get me to watch Deep Impact three times,” I sighed. “I told her that I had no desire to watch a movie about a giant asteroid pummeling down to Earth, but she scoffed when I suggested Legally Blonde,” I said with a slight chuckle in my voice.

Andy had been the first friend I made when I moved back to New York. We found ourselves in the same creative writing class at Hudson University and instantly bonded over our love for all things French. Before you knew it, we were inseparable. I loved her to bits and pieces, but she drove me absolutely crazy. For every similarity we had, there were at least two differences. For one, I was an absolute neat freak . . . whereas Andy seemed to leave a trail of clutter wherever she went. Even our taste in movies differed astronomically. Andy was all about action-packed sci-fi thrillers, whereas I leaned more toward the cheesy romantic comedies. Despite our differences, and me wanting to throttle her a time or two, she and I became tremendous friends, and I absolutely, positively couldn’t imagine what life would be without her.

“Let’s just say that last movie night resulted in a full blown popcorn fight,” I laughed. “That I ended up cleaning all by myself,” I sighed. “There were many a moment I wanted to shove a handful of popcorn in her mouth just to keep her mouth busy,” I chuckled. I paused for a moment, before clearing my throat. “It’s been a long few weeks, Paul. I’ve missed you,” she murmured.

“I’ve missed you so much, too, baby. Remind me not to leave you this long again. Next time, I’m packing you up with me,” he laughed

I grabbed the newspaper and threw it in my tote bag. “Careful … I just might hold you to it.”

I glanced down at my watch and was a bit surprised with how much time had flown by. “Ah damn, if you’re coming home in a few hours I should head back to my apartment. Get things cleaned up a bit. Maybe we can do dinner at Russo’s tonight if you aren’t too jetlagged? Then maybe catch up on all our movie nights we missed while you were gone?” I asked hopefully.

“Anything you want, babe. I honestly don’t care what we do as long as I get to see your gorgeous face.”

I could feel my cheeks grow hot at his compliment. This guy. My God, was he a sweet talker or what? I got that our relationship was still in the honeymoon stage so to speak – we had only been exclusively dating for eight months after all, but man, did he know how to sweep a girl off her feet or what? Butterflies? Nope, I had full blown moths fluttering around in there, and somehow, he also managed to make me go weak in the knees each time I saw him.

Admittedly, I wasn’t exactly keen on the idea of going out with him at first, but I’m very glad that he was able to wear me down eventually. Yeah, the frequent trips to Boston were hard, but we were making it work. And surprisingly, we hadn’t even had a single disagreement since we first started dating. Our relationship was easy. Comfortable even. And well . . . normal. God, how I craved normalcy. Those were things that I never had with him. Then again, I don’t think there was anything really normal about my relationship with him. Ugh. I’m doing it again. Just stop.

Paul’s voice broke through my internal struggle. “There’s ah … something I wanted to talk to you about, too. Been thinking a lot about it while on the trip, and was hoping to run it by you today.”

“Oh? Okay, that sounds good,” I replied, as I waved a quick goodbye to Roxy. “I’ll see you in a few, babe,” I smiled as I tapped the end on my phone and left Roxy’s Coffee Shop.

The trek back home wouldn’t take me long as I only lived a few blocks away. There was so much I needed to do before he got in, but I was pretty excited to see Paul. FaceTime was great, but nothing could replace seeing him in person or hearing his laugh right across from me. We had met about a year after I returned to New York. I had finally picked myself back up and moved on from my time in Cordonia. I had reenrolled in college, finished my last semester and earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Business. Shortly after I graduated, I went to my local credit union and asked for a loan to start up my own business. It was a gigantic risk at the time – after all, I had no backup plan if I failed miserably. They started me off with a modest loan which I used to get the foundation of Savvy Events created. Even with the loan, money was tight. To cut down costs, I was working out of my apartment with only a single laptop and my design book.

Paul’s law firm was one of my very first clients. I’d been hired to coordinate an event honoring the firm’s newest partner – Paul. When I went in to meet with him for the initial consultation, I found myself surprisingly attracted to him. I hadn’t dated anyone since . . . well since Cordonia, and it wasn’t like I was looking to date again. My heart was pretty shut off from jumping into ANY relationship, and when I met Paul and felt a little spark, I tried my best to snuff it out. I didn’t NEED a relationship and I certainly didn’t WANT one. Especially after the shitshow that had happened back in Cordonia, but there was something about Paul that kept drawing me in . . . even though I wanted none of it. Paul was tall, slender with touches of gray in his dark hair. He was just under ten years older than me, and he had an air of sophistication that was very fitting of a corporate attorney. I tried my best to ignore the growing attraction between us. It was my first major gig and I could not screw it up by being attracted to the guest of honor. That would be a big no-no. I wanted to keep things professional. I also didn’t want my newly pieced back together heart, broken again. I tried so hard to pretend that there wasn’t anything between us . . . but each meeting had me falling a lot more in like with him than I wanted. He was sweet, charismatic and genuinely interested in knowing more about me. That’s why, I wasn’t all too surprised that when the party was over he had asked me out to dinner and wouldn’t accept no for an answer.

I agreed to a single dinner and made it clear that I wasn’t looking for anything serious. I didn’t go into a lot of detail, but just gave him the rundown that my heart had been smashed to smithereens and there was no way in hell I was going to fall down that black hole again. He was oh so patient and understood completely. That single dinner turned into a standing weekly date which then turned into frequent movie nights throughout the week. Eight months later, I’m still in major like with him. LIKE. Not love . . . I mean, yes, there have been moments when he does something so amazingly, sweet that I go all heart-eyes on him . . . but love . . . yeah, no. Thanks to him, I don’t really think I can ever “love” someone so freely again. If there was anything that I learned from my time in Cordonia it’s that love is a four letter word that makes you weak . . . and I’d be damned if I would allow myself to get swept up in that whirlwind again.

After wrestling with my thoughts, I found myself standing on the front stoop of my apartment building. It was the typical New York City brick-built walk up. It was in a pretty good area near a lot of shops and markets. It was also ridiculously close to the subway making it so easy to find yourself in any one of the other boroughs of the city. Because of that it was obscenely expensive. I mean, two bedroom apartments in New York are already obscenely expensive, but one in close proximity to the subway typically broke the bank. Thank God for Andy. Without her splitting of the rent, we never would have been able to afford something in this area.

I climbed up the three flights of stairs to my apartment unit, all the while, butterflies floated around happily in my stomach. My mind raced to what I was going to wear to our early dinner tonight. It also drifted to what Paul wanted to talk to me about. He seemed a bit vague about it.

“Hey,” I said happily as I walked through the front door. I threw my keys onto the island in the kitchen. Andy was sitting on the floor furiously typing away on her laptop. Papers were strewn all around her in different piles.

“How’s the thesis going?” I asked, eyeing a few of the crumpled, wadded up paper next to her.

Andy stretched her arms over her head, yawning. “I’ve been at this since seven this morning and got all of one page done. You tell me.” She snorted.

Andy was an English major who had earned her Bachelor’s Degree two semesters ago. Her educational goals were much loftier than my own. She wanted her PhD. I just wanted to get the hell out of school. It had already taken me a bit longer than expected to get my degree, and I didn’t have the funds or drive to continue any further beyond my BA.

Andy was in her second semester of Hudson’s Literary Studies MA program, and I didn’t envy her in the slightest. While my life had become consumed with all things Savvy Events, her life was consumed by her thesis. I didn’t understand why someone would willingly spend so many hours of their life working on a paper that could either make or break your educational endeavors, especially when there was going to be more schooling and papers waiting for her on the other side of her MA. She’d still have at least four more years in her doctoral program. I internally cringed at even the thought of it. Andy had mentioned a few times that she’d probably have to move out of state to pursue the PhD program that she wanted. I didn’t even want to think about what that meant for our friendship.

Andy had been my saving grace when I first moved back to New York. And if I were being honest, she was the only friend I had for quite a while upon returning. When I had come home to New York, a lot of my college friends had graduated and moved out of state. Even my old coworkers at Upscale had found new jobs and moved on with their lives. A lot changes in six months. I was left in a state of limbo, not really having anywhere to go or anyone to turn to. Meeting Andy was a blessing that I so desperately needed at a time when I wasn’t really sure what to do with my life.

I never really told Andy what happened to land me back in New York, and being the godsend that she is, she never pushed or pried. I vaguely mentioned that I had been traveling out of the country for a while, and she assumed that I had been a part of some foreign exchange program. She never prodded and I never corrected her because . . . well . . . talking about Cordonia . . . and him . . . would just reopen the wounds that had taken so very long to heal. I wanted a clean break from all things Cordonian. I left no contact number or forwarding address. I wanted them to forget I ever existed, and to be honest, I wanted to forget they had ever existed, too.

“Hey, one page is better than nothing right?” I popped open the refrigerator grabbing a soda can out of it. “Want one?” I said as I held up a can to offer Andy.

“I’m good. I’m wired on three cups of coffee right now. I don’t think my body can handle any more caffeine right now. So how was your day off?”

“It was fantastic.” I sighed happily. “Paul’s flying in today . . . in a few hours in fact.”

Andy cocked her eyebrow. “Really? I thought he was going to be gone for nearly a month?”

“Me too, but I guess his negotiations must have wrapped up quicker than expected, so he’s flying back. We’re doing dinner tonight at Russo’s, so you’re on your own tonight okay? Looks like my movie partner is back in action,” I chuckled as I made my way toward my bedroom.

“Thank God!” Andy exclaimed. “Your taste in movies is horrendous, geeze,” she sighed. “Wait . . . does that mean you guys are planning on coming back here and having some post business trip loving, because I was planning on working until at least eleven tonight.”

“Andy!” I yelled, turning away from my doorway. “Seriously?” I narrowed my eyes at her.

“I’m just saying! Every time that man goes away on business, you can’t keep your hands off of each other when he gets back. I mean, I get it, you’re still in the honeymoon phase of your relationship … but can you may be spread the lovey dovey googly eyes crap at his place tonight? I do not like being the third wheel,” she said pointedly.

“Stop it,” I scolded. “And we aren’t that bad,” I chided. “I mean . . . yes when he comes back from his business trips we are quite happy to actually be together in person again . . . but we hardly push any hard limits . . . we always keep it to a nice and comfortable PG-13 level, thank you very much.”

Andy waggled her eyebrows. “Sure, you keep telling yourself that.”

I rolled my eyes and threw my balled up jacket at her head. “I’m going to go get ready for tonight. Get your mind out of the gutter.”

As I turned into my bedroom and started to rummage through my closet for something to wear, I heard Andy enter my room behind me. "Hey, before you go off to get all glamorous for your date … you got mail today. Seems pretty fancy . . . and it looks like it has some sort of foreign postmark. Cor-something? I can’t make out the rest,” she said as she squint her eyes to make out the lettering.

My hand clenched on my closet’s door, an unsettling feeling forming in the pit of my stomach. “Foreign?” I asked, turning to stare at Andy, my jaw clenching. “What do you mean foreign? What’s it say?” I asked, abandoning the clothes in my closet.

Andy had the envelope in her hand and looked at it again. It was a cream-colored envelope. She scrunched up her face again. “Well, the postmark looked weird, and I had to sign some sort of funky slip of paper to acknowledge that I received it,” she shrugged. “I can’t really read the full postmark. Look,” she motioned to the envelope. “It even has a fancy red seal on it.”

My heart beat faster in my chest and my legs felt like they were turning into noodles. A wave of emotions washed over me. Foreign postmark . . . red seal . . . it couldn’t be. Could it? Not after all this time. I mean . . . it’s about two years too late to be reaching out. The thoughts hummed through my head as I eyed the envelope in Andy’s hand.

I cleared my throat, trying to steady my voice. “Does it say who it’s from?”

Andy shrugged nonchalantly, as if the letter she was holding wasn’t the ticking time bomb that it was. “Nope, just some sort of insignia.” Andy handed me the envelope. “Does it look familiar?”

I swallowed hard, my eyes dropping to the seal. My fingers traced the wax seal on the envelope. Did it look familiar? Of course it did. I’d seen the crest hundreds of times during my time in Cordonia. Bertrand and Maxwell had made sure that I was familiar with all of the court’s seals and crests. I wanted to speak, but my voice cracked a little in the process. How could this happen? Fifteen minutes ago I was so excited that Paul was flying home . . . . now all I felt was absolute dread. The butterflies from earlier were gone, replaced by a gnawing feeling of anxiety.

“Ri?” Andy questioned.

I lifted my head. “Hm?” I asked as I felt my eyes glazing over.

“Does it look familiar?” She asked again. I could sense the impatience growing in her voice.

“Y-yes,” I replied softly.

I could feel Andy’s eyes boring into me. “Well? What is it?” She asked. “Who’s it from?”

I licked my lips nervously, and cleared my throat. “It’s the family crest of House Beaumont from Cordonia.” I replied softly. My chest felt tight, and suddenly I couldn’t breathe. I braced myself on the arm of the couch, trying to sit down. I tried my best to remain composed, but I could already feel hot tears pricking my eyes.

Andy scrunched her face up in confusion. “From where?”

Hire a Magician in Portland For a Corporate Party - 3 Tips

Employing a Portland magician for a corporate occasion or gathering can be a troublesome assignment. There are such a large number of to browse. How would you locate the best magician for your gathering? Portland offers one of a kind enchantment openings, yet in addition has too much of issues.

Here are three employing tips, that will assist you with settling on the correct decision for your next corporate occasion.

Magician-Recruiting Tip #1

Portland has too much of enchantment clubs. You have everything from the General public of American Magicians to the Universal Fraternity of Magicians... what's more, some selective ones in the middle. Include the gatherings and shows, similar to Portland Enchantment Jam, Enchantment Fest, the Pacific Coast American Magicians Show, and you have an excess of magicians.

Anyway, which club would it be a good idea for you to go to, so as to locate an expert magician?

My recommendation is to maintain a strategic distance from those clubs. Face it, clubs are truly for beginners. You need an expert - not somebody who is just a legend as far as he could tell. (A few years back, I went a gathering/occasion in Portland. There were more than 100 magicians. Furthermore, 90% of the men that spoke exhausted us to death. Envision their demonstrations.)

Furthermore, on the off chance that you approach the club part for a reference, be guaranteed you'll get his pal... not really the best for your corporate event. click here now cours de magie

In this way, avoid the clubs. Start with proposals from other Portland organizations - discover organizations who have had occasions at McMenamins, Jake's, or other Portland settings. (Playing the Rose Nursery isn't really fitting for your occasion. On the off chance that you are from Portland, at that point you comprehend.)

Likewise, look on the web for proficient Portland magicians.

At that point...

Magician-Employing Tip #2

Try not to employ the primary Portland magician that you find. Let me reword that... after you discover a performing magician, your examination has quite recently started. For reasons unknown, there are a great deal of birthday magicians in Portland who "need" to move into the corporate world; tragically, an organization party needs something else than the rabbit created toward the finish of the children's gathering.

You need to see references. More than that, you need great references - individuals you can contact. (Other Portland organizations.)

What you don't need are the references composed by the magician's closest companions or family members. Likewise, the neighborhood church or retirement home are not what you have to see, now. Obviously, good cause cherished the exhibition. It was for nothing.

Acquire references, genuine Oregon organizations - Umpqua Bank, the Portland Pioneers, Wyatt's Diner, and so forth - and afterward call or email the contacts. Pose pointed inquiries. For instance, "Was there anything that could have been improved? Or on the other hand were there any issues managing this magician?"

Magician-Employing Tip #3

See tests from the Pacific Northwest; I'll disclose to you why it's significant in a moment. Ensure the examples show the crowd response. Does the magician have video cuts posted anyplace on the web? If not, would he be able to or she send you a Cd ROM with an example execution or advancement?

Take a gander at the enchantment; decide the crowd connection and reaction; judge amusement esteem. Is this what you need for your occasion?

Ensure you are seeing video tests from your territory - Oregon, the Pacific Northwest. It does you no decent to the ocean a journey transport execution, where everybody is in a happy, transport state of mind, in the Mediterranean. Nor do you need an example of a road execution on the walkways of New York. Once more, it's not agent of your setting or crowd.

In Oregon, we have an easygoing method of dressing, even at more proper occasions. We are additionally laid back - and we avoid the more "in-your-face" characters, common of the East Coast magicians. We likewise need different accents related with various pieces of the nation.

I. The Fool: Isaiah Masson. Tremere Tzimisce. (Capricorn Sun, Aquarius Moon) Survives. He went into the second world with Kolya at his side, both of them determined to reconcile his path, and their devotion to one another, for as long as possible.

II. The Magician: Casimir. Toreador. (Gemini Sun, Leo Rising) Survives. Successfully directed the Kindred of New York City to animate the city with Baali magic in order to create an ark that could survive the end of the world. He went to the second world with his lover, Krystiyan.

III. The High Priestess: Cora Jeong. Malkavian Baali. (Sagittarius Sun, Cancer Moon) Survives. Although she left Clan Malkavian to become Baali, she retained her connection to the cobweb, and she experienced a moment of godlike perception as Clan Malkavian ascended: which gave her the ability to see the future with clarity and purpose. As the high priestess of Surgat, she remained behind in the dark world, and reigns as its wise and gentle queen.

IV. The Emperor: Krystiyan. Tzimisce. (Taurus Sun, Scorpio Moon) Survives. He nearly usurped Casimir’s ritual to animate the city to instead power his own metamorphosis, but was confronted by Isaiah, who convinced him to let go of his alien ambitions and return to the path of Humanity. He went to the second world with Casimir.

V. The Empress: Selene Santiago. Toreador. (Leo Sun, Gemini Rising, Taurus Moon) Survives - in a sense. Selene diablerized her Antediluvian, Arikel, in order to save Arikel’s life, and now will gradually become her, as Arikel wakes up and subsumes her identity. She went to the second world with her knight, Marina, and Ventrue, who wears the body of Selene’s lover.

VI. The Hierophant: Marina. Lamia. (Scorpio Sun, Libra Rising). Survives. She went into the second world with Selene, who had earned her loyalty by freeing her from an unworthy lord. Served Selene - and later, Arikel - as her faithful knight.

VII. The Lovers: Katrin Presse. Human. (Aries Sun, Virgo Moon). Survives. She accepted with resigned gratitude the loss of her great power as the price of being freed from her family’s curse. Although she never made peace with House Murnau, she ultimately accepted Ellard as family, and bears his gun in his memory. She remained behind in order to defend the innocent against the dark world’s many monsters.

IIX. The Chariot: Margueritte Delacours. Baali. (Gemini Sun, Capricorn Rising) Survives. Having mastered all magic in the dark world, she proceeded to the second world to find new arcane lands to conquer. She was accompanied by her childe and companion, Alice.

IX. Strength: Vidke. Niktuku. (Aries Sun, Capricorn Rising, Venus in Libra) Survives. Vidke took his revenge upon his brother Absimilliard, although he lost nearly all of his beloved childer in the process. He remained in the dark world, finally the inheritor of the kingdom that was stolen from him, and reigns at Cora’s side.

X. The Hermit: Henry Milliner. Giovanni. (Scorpio) Survives. After the party prevented his suicide, he chose to step back from his family, and ultimately played no part in their final fate - which was the greatest release he could have hoped for. Remained in the dark world in order to deepen his study of necromancy. Eventually becomes a revered and mysterious figure, and the only real authority in the dark world outside of Cora, Vidke, and Surgat’s control.

XI. Wheel of Fortune: Nikolai Zantosa. Tzimisce. (Libra Sun, Venus in Aquarius) Survives. Kolya took terrible vengeance against Clan Tzimisce for a lifetime of pain, nearly annihilating them, leaving Krystiyan as the only survivor: but died in the process. Isaiah used an artifact of the Morningstar to bring him back, and they go together to the second world. Kolya’s true nature, and the actual extent of his powers, remain a mystery.

XII. Justice: Tippecanoe. Nosferatu. (Cancer Sun, Gemini Rising) Survives. Escaped into the second world alone, her intentions for the future unknown.

XIIV. The Hanged Man: Ellard Murnau. Human. (Pisces Sun, Aquarius Rising) Dead. Cora shot him in the back of the head in order to free the Morningstar and open the gate to the second world.

XIV. Death: Trevor. Malkavian. (Virgo Sun, Pisces Moon) Dead. Trevor diablerized Malkav’s twin sister Nahema, then fed himself to the Teeth of the Broken God: the infernal device which contained Malkav’s heart. His martyrdom suspended the Malkavian curse of madness long enough for Malkav’s clan to comprehend God’s mind, and they ascended out of corporeal reality.

XV. Temperance: Clara Knight. Salubri. (Cancer Sun, Sagittarius Moon) Dead. John Copley killed her to defend Selene, after Selene attempted to become the high priestess of Asmodeus.

XVI. The Devil: Hetepheres. Setite. (Leo Sun, Sagittarius Rising) Dead. Hetti inevitably betrayed the party in order to steal Malkav’s heart. She used it to get everything she wanted - for a short time. Cora and Isaiah killed her in order to recover it.

XVII. The Tower: John Copley. Ventrue. (Capricorn Sun, Venus in Pisces) Dead. Although Selene betrayed him in order to save his life from the explosion at Morninglight, nothing could save him from being the last surviving vessel prepared for Ventrue’s consciousness. While Ventrue wears his skin - and, at times, adopts his mannerisms, for Selene’s benefit - nothing of John as an independent entity remains.

XIIX. The Star: Manfred Sauer. Human Malkavian. (Libra Sun, Cancer Moon) Ascended. Cora brought Manfred to her sire, who made him Malkavian: putting his visionary madness into context. He ascended with the rest of his clan.

XIX. The Moon: Eleanor St. John. Gangrel. (Virgo Sun, Aries Moon.) Dead. Eleanor believed that Nahema was Lilith, and worshiped her. Isaiah tore her apart in order to reach Nahema’s shrine.

XX. The Sun: Eva Brodeur. Malkavian. (Virgo) Ascended. Eva was also a Lilith cultist who believed that Nahema was her goddess. She fought the party at Nahema’s shrine, but came to her senses when Nahema was diablerized. She ascended with the rest of her clan.

XXI. Judgement: Alexandra Murnau. Human. (Aries Sun, Aquarius Moon) Survives. After the death of her brother, she learned that her family had, for centuries, served as the vessel of the Morningstar. She became the Morningstar’s sole vessel and high priestess in order to pursue God into the second world and punish him for abandoning his creation.

XXII. The World: Surgat. Annunaki Demon. (Aquarius) Survives. Surgat saw God’s blueprint of the universe before it was destroyed at Morninglight, and later saw the mind of God during the Malkavian ascendance: both events which changed her nature. She later became the genius loci of New York City, and the god of the dark world. Cora serves as her high priestess.

Choose An Entertainer:

The NYC magician needs to be one who will not just mechanically perform tricks. He needs to be an entertainer who will entertain the audiences with his tricks. He must have the potential to bring a smile on the face of audiences of all age groups.

One Who Knows The Latest Tricks?

It will be better if you ask him to show the tricks and performances that he will be giving in an event. This way you will have a better idea about his performance and you can also give your own suggestions to make any changes as per your requirements.

Entertain your audiences in a different way. Choose a magician in New York City who can bring a wonderful entertainment twist in the event in order to make your audience engaged and mesmerized.

HI,

I’m Shannon C.

A DJ, Entrepreneur, Radio Personality, and Business Owner dedicated to inspiring happiness and healing through music.

[dropcap]A[/dropcap] Born and Raised Florida Girl with a Passion, a Laptop and a dream, I am honored to work in an industry where I can help people to experience joy, nostalgia, and escape through music. Through digital DJ services, customized performances, thoughtful song selection, and community education, I help people like you experience the joy of music when attending a DJ Shannon C event.

A Question that I’m Frequently Asked is

“How Did You Get Started as a Dj?”

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been completely in love with music. My grandmother started me on the piano at 5, and by 7 I could sit down and play songs I would hear on the radio. My musical ear was always very strong. I always gravitated to musical instruments, so it was no surprise that by age 12, I was the lead flutist in my middle school orchestra, and by 16, a lead trombonist in our high school symphony and jazz ensembles. I’ve always gravitated to drums and percussive instruments, experimenting with side rock and ska projects in high school. I also wrote musical arrangements for our 100 piece high school marching band.

Like I said, I was IN LOVE with Music.

I was also passionate about a multitude of seemingly unconnected things: teaching, psychology, entrepreneurship, creativity, dance, spirituality, fitness and philanthropy, just to name a few. I came to Tampa in 2002 to attend University of South Florida for Performing Arts and Dance. (I took a long break from music in my early 20’s as I was cultivating other interests and pursuing a corporate career.)

After USF, I hopped around between jobs, aggressively climbing the corporate ladder in a Training and Project Management capacity. I’ve trained for major companies including Medicare, Capital One, and JP Morgan Chase. And while I was very good at my job, a large part of me was very unfulfilled.

Then in 2013, everything changed…

I had been hosting Bar Trivia as a side job to allow me a sense of creativity. I was back in school studying Adult Education, and I was heavily pursuing a corporate career. Everything changed because I sustained several injuries to my body and my brain. Everything changed because I could no longer work a corporate job as I had to be in physical therapy 5 days a week. Everything changed because I was in a position where I had to completely rebuild my life.

On March 1st I was rear ended by a Semi Truck while stopped at a stoplight. And everything changed.

Which brings me to Djing…

The brain injury that I sustained impacted my motor functions. One day I sat down at my piano, which had also been an emotional outlet for me, and I couldn’t play. My fingers wouldn’t move to the keys liked they’d been trained for years before. This through me into a deep depression. In an attempt to help me feel better, my then boyfriend showed me some basics of Djing and put a mixtrack pro with virtual DJ in front of me. My DJ journey begins here.

I spent the next several months of my physical recovery learning about Djing, beat matching, using different software, different hardware, mixing different genres of music, etc. I dove in to the deepend, and it really helped me to progress through my injuries and depression.

In July 2013, a friend booked me to play for her sister’s wedding, and shortly after, a neighbor who often heard me practicing, booked me to play weekly at his venue at International Plaza. I also began networking and working under different mentor djs as I progressed into my DJ career. In late 2014 I produced and hosted my first Art and Music showcase to benefit The Tampa Crisis Center, and , I aligned with Scratch Events, an agency in New York City, who began booking me for corporate and fashion brands.

In 2015 I began working in nightlife, serving the LGBT community in both Ybor City, and St Petersburg, FL. I also did my first guest set with Jose Da Magician at Art After Dark in South Tampa, and I aligned myself with Trinity Cafe to play music for the homeless on the Holidays.

In 2016, I took on my first Out of State gig at the Georgia World Congress Center for the SalesForce connections tour. I began doing guest spots with other local djs including DJ Qeys and DJ Knox at Crowbar for Takeover Tuesdays, and DJ D2 at Top Golf. I did fashion work for Millenia Fashion with With Mall at Millenia and Rapid 3D Print for their 3D Print Fashion Show. I also began teaching DJ lessons to local teens.

In 2017, I was invited into my first DJ crew, affectionately gaining the title of the First Woman of the Sinister Syndicate. I also began working for 99 Jamz FM, the Berg with a Weekly Segment called Ladies Take Over Thursdays on the Big Show.

In 2018, I’m excited to launch my second company, Digital DJ Youth Academy, which offers one to many classes for youth at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. The classes allow students exposure to DJ culture and music while integrating core skills for each age group including leadership, team building, creativity, individual expression, tolerance and celebration of differences, as well as reinforcing familiarity with numbers and language. My goal is to get kids turned on to music early and show them a path for creating a hobby or even a profitable career in music. I want to use music to help my youth reach their fullest potential both in Djing and in life.

Late in 2013 I conceptualized and launched InterCross Entertainment. I was annoyed with the lack of professionalism that I’d experienced on the business side of the entertainment industry. InterCross was born as a way to merge top quality talent with old school service based business practices.

I’m here to serve. My company is built on a bedrock of love, compassion, passion for what’s possible, and commitment to providing a top quality experience to everyone we reach. My mission in both my own brand, and in InterCross Entertainment is to help you achieve your best musical experience , be it in the form of an event, collaboration, or education. I’m here to serve you.

The best way to stay connected is to become an insider! You’ll get tips for booking djs, updates on new mixes and shows, and behind the decks look at my life as I strive to encourage and inspire the masses through music.

Top Benefits of Using an Artist Booking Agency for Your Next Event

Planning an event involves numerous decisions, and one of the most crucial is selecting the right entertainment. Whether you're organizing a corporate function, a wedding, a festival, or a private party, the quality of your entertainment can significantly influence the success of your event. Utilizing an Artist Booking Agency in New York can streamline this process and provide numerous advantages. Here’s why partnering with an artist booking agency can be a game-changer for your event.

They can provide valuable advice on the best type of entertainment for your event, help you stay within budget, and manage all the intricate details.

Reliability and Accountability

Reputable booking agencies provide a level of reliability and accountability that is hard to achieve when booking independently. They have established relationships with artists and understand their work ethics and reliability. This ensures that the performers will show up on time, be prepared, and deliver a quality performance.

Negotiation Power

Agencies have experience in negotiating contracts and fees, often securing better rates and terms than an individual could. They understand the market rates and can ensure you get the best value for your investment. This can be particularly beneficial if you're working with a tight budget.

Logistical Support

From arranging travel and accommodation to managing technical requirements and stage setup, an artist booking agency can handle all logistical aspects of the performance. This ensures a smooth and seamless experience for both you and the performer, minimizing the risk of last-minute issues.

Emergency Backup Options

In the unlikely event that a booked artist cancels or faces an emergency, agencies typically have backup options ready. This means you’re less likely to be left without entertainment, as the agency can quickly find a replacement, ensuring your event proceeds as planned.

Enhanced Event Experience

A professional Live Entertainment Artists Booking Agency Nyc ensures that the entertainment at your event is top-notch, which can significantly enhance the overall experience for your guests. High-quality entertainment can elevate the ambiance, engage your audience, and create lasting memories.

Partnering with an artist booking agency offers a host of benefits that can enhance the planning and execution of your event. From providing access to a wide range of talent and offering professional expertise to saving you time and reducing stress, an agency can be a valuable ally in creating a successful and memorable event.

From Las Vegas to Utah, The Ultimate Holiday Guide

Are you looking for an all-inclusive 7-night holiday deal? Well, you’ve come to the right place, Travel Center offers an all-inclusive package from Las Vegas to Utah; whether it’s gambling in the Entertainment Capital of the World, Las Vegas or Glamping in Utah, this deal is the perfect one for you!

Are you convinced as yet? Well, read on and I’ll show you what you can expect from these two exciting cities in the US.

Las Vegas

Las Vegas is a metropolis in the state of Nevada in the United States. It is the most crowded city in the state and is a globally famous resort city, recognized mainly for its casinos, shopping, elegant dining, and famously lavish nightlife, which has an extensive variety of entertainment choices. The city calls itself “The Entertainment Capital of the World”. For this reason, Las Vegas is one of the leading tourist destinations in the world. The biggest and most popular of the mega-casino hotels in Las Vegas are located in the area identified as the Las Vegas Strip. Amongst Las Vegas’s other appeals is the world’s biggest buffet.

Top Places to Visit in Las Vegas

The Strip

The 2.5-mile-long central unit of Las Vegas Boulevard, which goes across the city from northeast to southwest, recognized as the Strip, is bordered with enormous entertainment palaces, several constructed with a central theme and home to performance sites, extravagant hotel rooms, and elegant dining. The Strip is mainly remarkable at night when the city is lit up by a never-ending chain of splendid neon signs.

Fremont Street Experience

In old downtown Las Vegas, Fremont Street is a pedestrian-only region with all types of unique locations. A five-block part of Fremont Street is shielded with a covering of LED lights that light up the sky in a display of various colours and designs as you stroll below. Recognized as the Fremont Street Experience, every night extraordinary music, and visual displays take place overhead. Street performers and special entertainment act frequently perform outdoors in this region.

Paris Hotel and the Eiffel Tower

What could be better than seeing two cities in one day? The Paris, Las Vegas, offers you the opportunity to do just that. Situated outside the resort is the replica of the Eiffel Tower which makes it into many of the Las Vegas pictures. You will also come across a ‘Paris Opera House’ together with the romantic Eiffel Tower restaurant in the building. Take the lift to the forty-sixth floor and revel in the sights of the metropolis just like you would have on the Eiffel Tower itself. If you are travelling with your partner, it is easily one of the best places to visit in Las Vegas.

Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area

There are plenty of guided tours offered for Red Rock Canyon, which would take you far away from the lights and noise of the metropolis. Relish the tranquil 25-kilometre long drive to the desert in the middle of nowhere. Take a trek here or merely revel in the Mojave Desert with its red hills. Choices are unlimited, which makes Red Rock a main feature in the Las Vegas tourism scene.

Las Vegas might be neon lights and luxury but there’s plenty more to it. The desert landscape could be a heaven for outdoor fans with paths that are as plain as they’re stunning. One of the main things to do in Vegas is to trek the paths in the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. They vary from easy to hard and consist of the Moenkopi Loop, Keystone Thrust, White Rock – Willow Springs, and Turtlehead Peak to name a few.

Stratosphere

Another entry on places to visit in Las Vegas is the stunning and magnificent Stratosphere Tower. At a height of nearly 1150 feet, the tower provides many great reasons to visit. You can relish some exciting rides on the top like Sky Jump, Insanity, and Big Shot. And if you are someone who does not like the adrenaline rush, the outdoor deck provides some brilliant sights of the city, making it one of the top places in Las Vegas.

Bellagio Resort and Fountain Show

The Bellagio is a premium, remarkable resort with plenty of gems concealed away in its corridors. You can explore the Gallery of Fine Arts, Botanical Gardens, and also the Conservatory here. It has numerous restaurants and also a spa and salon, aside from the famous Bellagio casino which is one of the largest Las Vegas tourist appeals.

Aside from all this, the gorgeous fountain here is another popular feature. Every fifteen or so minutes, the fountain goes off with an attractive display of water together with a music set. This fountain show is a must if you are searching for free things to view in Las Vegas.

Mirage Hotel: Erupting Volcano and Secret Garden

The Mirage Hotel is simple to recognize while walking down the Strip. In front of the resort is a volcano, which explodes at regular intervals. At night, the shining red fire shooting out is one of the most distinctive sites noticeable from the sidewalk. Inside the Mirage is the Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat. You can view an extensive range of exotic animals, which include white lions. The Dolphin Habitat has a huge amount of trained dolphins in its 2.5-million-gallon pools.

High Roller Ferris Wheel on the Linq

What better to do than get on a Ferris wheel in Sin City? Situated at the Linq Promenade, this wheel is the symbol of the city. Standing at 550 feet high, this viewing wheel offers a complete sweeping view of the city and also its most popular destination, the Strip. One whole rotation would take around 30 minutes. Riding the wheel at night provides an even more remarkable sight of Las Vegas in its magnificence.

The 28 cabins are different from standard to Happy Half Hour cabins and those that could be hired for special events such as weddings with deals that comprise of wedding planning too.

New York-New York Hotel

The New York-New York Hotel in Las Vegas is on the other side of the street from both the MGM Grand Hotel and the Excalibur Resort Hotel. Strikingly gorgeous, the hotel is designed to look like New York’s skyline, complete with the Brooklyn Bridge and the Statue of Liberty. A giant roller coaster circles in and around the hotel.

Caesar’s Palace and The Colosseum

Possibly one of the best known of all the Las Vegas hotel resorts, Caesar’s Palace continues to change. Presently Caesar’s Palace is a huge compound in the centre of the Strip, complete with every conceivable entertainment choice. Of course, you have to try your hand at the casino games as that’s one of the best things to do in Vegas! If you’re a passionate poker player you can’t miss playing at the 24-hour, 4,500-square-foot poker room. Regular tournaments are held, offering you an opportunity to win big!

The hotel is closely linked with shows held in its enormous concert venue famous as “The Colosseum.” Leading performers (which have consisted of Celine Dion and Elton John) perform here for prolonged periods, and shows are frequently reserved ahead of time. Travellers planning a trip and wanting to see a performance here will have to look at dates and ticket availability very early.

Things to do in Las Vegas

Catch the Cirque du Soleil

The primary thing to do in Vegas is to see a Cirque du Soleil show. You could see world popular magician Criss Angel perform remarkable tricks that seem to bend reality or view dancers and acrobats put on a memorable show through performances in KA and Mystere. No matter which shows you pick to see, you’re guaranteed a night to remember!

Helicopter Rides over Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon

For an exceptional aerial view above Las Vegas, or even the Grand Canyon, travellers might want to take a helicopter ride. This is a brilliant chance for anyone with less time to view not just Vegas, but the encompassing landscape and one of America’s most remarkable and popular natural appeals.

Visit the Neon Museum

The Neon Museum started as the “neon boneyard,” a fenced-in yard where most of the Strip’s neon signs were kept after being taken off from casinos that were either refurbished or imploded. Around 120 signs, mainly created by the YESCO corporation in the 1950s-80s, lie in the “boneyard” next to the museum. On a guided tour, travellers could learn about the styles in sign design and technology, which played a big part in the Las Vegas history. The museum also holds the transported lobby of La Concha, an old motel, which was saved from levelling and now works as the visitors’ centre.

See the Seven Magic Mountains

Now that it has opened next to Jean Dry Lake, the huge-scale public work “Seven Magic Mountains” could be viewed by anyone arriving (or departing) Las Vegas through I-15, 10 miles south of the Strip. The enormous, 30-foot-tall neon-painted limestone totems cut a magnificent picture against the desert. Artist Ugo Rondinone’s piece took many years to plan in this region, but all you have to do is follow the driving instructions and show up. The work will be on view until 2021.

Gondola Ride at the Venetian Hotel

If you don’t have time to tour Venice, Italy, that’s okay. An unwinding way to relax in Las Vegas is on a canal tour by gondola (tiny boat). With a singing gondolier, you’ll be rowed across the Grand Canal, go below balconies, and beside cafes as if you were in Venice. With a real Venetian street that looks like Italian construction and the alleys of Venice, it’s an entertaining escape and quite romantic. Now, that’s amore!

Reasons to visit Las Vegas

Las Vegas is recognized as the ultimate playground, the metropolis is colourful and vibrant, making it a perfect destination for numerous travellers looking to tour its entertainment, cuisine, and nightlife scene.

World Famous Casinos, gambling is raised to an art form in Las Vegas, where you could pop into one of the dozen casinos just by walking down the road.

Las Vegas isn’t just a destination for grown-ups anymore. In fact, in current years it’s become the ideal place for a family holiday. Appeals like M&M’s world and the Shark Reef Aquarium are made for family entertainment.

Some of the top golf courses in the world exist in and around the Las Vegas strip.

Utah, the Mormon State

Welcome to nature’s most ideal playground. From red-rock mesas to thin slot canyons, powder-bound hills, and slick rock tracks, Utah’s varied land would amaze you. The biking, trekking, and skiing are world-class. And with more than 65% of the state lands public, which include 14 national parks and shrines, the access is just excellent.

Utah has rapidly turned into one of my favourite holiday destinations in the USA – seriously! The National Parks in Utah are absolutely magnificent and a must-view for any outdoor admirer.

Top Places to Visit in Utah

Zion National Park

If you’re travelling into southern Utah from Las Vegas (which is the route I took on my most current Southwest road trip), Zion National Park would be the first park you’ll come across. It became a national park during 1919, and most people quote it as their favourite national park in America. (It may be my new favourite, too!).

Zion is recognized for its high mountains and red canyons, which was cut out by the Virgin River. It’s also well-known for famous (if tough) treks such as Angels Landing and The Narrows.

Bryce Canyon National Park

The next park down the Utah national parks path is Bryce Canyon, which you can get to by travelling on the US 89 from Zion. Even though it also is packed with sandstone like Zion, the rock developments here are completely different.

Bryce Canyon is renowned for its windswept sandstone towers identified as hoodoos – the National Park Service says Bryce has the biggest selection of hoodoos anywhere in the world! Stopping at all the vantage points, therefore, is the most famous thing to do at Bryce Canyon (Sunset Point and Inspiration Point are my favourites).

Capitol Reef National Park

As far as national parks go, poor Capitol Reef is the park that gets ignored the most frequently in Utah. If you travel east from Bryce on UT-12 and UT-24, you’ll drive across a slice of Capitol Reef beginning in the town of Torrey – but most people don’t stop.

If Capitol Reef was in any other state, perhaps it’ll be really common! But, in Utah, it’s generally the park people spend less amount of time in. (And I’m guilty of it, too!).

Canyonlands National Park

Next up is Canyonlands National Park, in southeastern Utah nearby the town of Moab. Canyonlands is split into three diverse parts: Island in the Sky, The Needles, and The Maze, and has two main visitor centres (one at Island in the Sky, and one at The Needles).

True to its title, Canyonlands is renowned for its canyons and buttes that have been cut out by the Colorado River (the same river that cut out the Grand Canyon). It’s also recognized for its brilliant mountain biking, with the 100-mile White Rim Road at Island in the Sky being the most common track.

Arches National Park

The last of the Mighty 5 national parks are Arches, also next to Moab in southeastern Utah. This park is very diverse from the other four on this list, and I also think it’s one of the most reachable since it’s just around 15 minutes from Moab and is packed with short, simple walks to view the renowned arches.

The sandstone arches, of course! The park has nearly 2,000 natural stone arches, together with pinnacles, cliffs, and balanced rocks. The rocks are also a dazzling orange-red, which looks exceptional in photos.

Salt Lake City and the Mormon Temple

Salt Lake City is frequently linked with skiing and winter pursuits, and definitely, most of the top ski resorts in the state can be reached in about an hour’s drive from here. But this is a city worth exploring, regardless of the season, and provides many attractions and things to do.

Standing on Temple Square you’ll find the late 19th-century Mormon Temple, the biggest Latter-day Saints temple, and one of Salt Lake City’s main appeals. The temple can only be entered by Mormons but it is certainly worth strolling by to take a look. Other attractions in the city consist of the Mormon Tabernacle and the State Capitol.
